Whenever a Republican President left
Washington during the vacation Con-
gress and the summer season, for needed
rest and recreation, howl went up from
the Democrats that he was on a junket-
ing tour at the expensesof the public
treasury, and was negecting duties for
which he was paid to discharge Mr.
Cleveland had scarcely gotten rested from
a fishing and hunting excursion to the Adj
rondacks before he HES off on another trip
to some place in New York, which is to
be followed by trip to the West and an
other to the South. Republican papers
say nothing unfriendly about it, but regard
it as all well enough for the President to
have a little diversion and relaxation from
the labors of his office. But we find no
condemnation in the Democratic papers
such as they administered to Republican
Presidents. What an incorrigible set of
hypocrites theaverage Democratic spoils-
men are, any how.

Two women came before a mandarin
in China, each of them protesting that
she was the mother of little child

were so eager and so positive that the
mandarin was sorely puzzled. He re-
tired to consult with his wife who was
wise and clever woman, whose opin-
ion was held in great repnte in the
neighborhood.
She requested five minutes in which
to deliberate. AT the end of that time
she spoke:
aLet the servants catch me large
fish in the river and let ii be brought
to me alive"
This was done.
"Brine me now the infant. she said
"but leave the women in the outer

Dueling is impossible to members
of the Union League, and there is no
danger that recent dinner episode
will end in bloodshed. A millionaire
related story in which he figured as
a chivalrous and pugnacious hero.
He was at a cafe ia Vienna with two
ladies, after the opera. One of the two
men at the other table stared often
sively at the ladies, after warning the
man to stop the millionaire walked
over to the table pulled his nose, and
then knocked him and his companion
down. The next day the police
ordered the two offensive persons to
leave Vienna. That is the way the
millionaire told it, with dramatic
trimmings. An Alsatian, who wait
ed on the table, leaned over another
club member and excitedly whispered
another entirely different version. He
said be was waiting on the table IN
the Vienna cafe when the thing hap
pened. Hhe millionaire had two
women companions but they were not
ladies. No objection was made to
their presence las long rs they kept
quiet. The millionaire imagined that
Il stranger was flirting with one of the
women, and told hm not TO look at
his table at all. The stranger insisted
that he would look wherever he
pleased. The millionaire put on I'm
portant airs, went over to the strangers
table and Extensively ordered him 10
turn his chair around and face in an.
other direction. The stranger got up
and Knocked down the millionaire,
and the Chief of Police ,old the latter
to leave Vienna within twenty four
hours, The Alsaiian waiter said ex
citedly IN conclusion: "Oh, never
mind, That isn't the first one he has
told. He does that once in awhlle.r
This remark Was overheard, anu there
is an angry millionaire in the Union
League.

Brown-Rouse.

Williston church was the scene of one of
the prettiest weddings yesterday afternoon
that Portland has witnessed the past season.
The church itself is admirably adapted to
display, especially when, as In this case, the
outer light is excluded and the gas lighted
The large annex, with its convenient spaces,
thrown open so as to form part of the au-
ditorium, gives breadth and dignity to the
building not obtainable in other edifices of

Brown, is gentleman from Florida, who
has many friends in Portland
The church yesterday had been decorated
very tastefully In honor of the event. A
large evergreen arch was placed in front of
the sacred desk. and from its centre depend
ed beautiful floral horse shoe. Potted
plants and ivies, with bouquets and clusters
of cut flowers gave grace and beauty to the
church. Prior to the entrance of the we'd
ding procession, Mr. w. C. Kimball, the or
ganist, played delightfully."-, the march from
Lucia" Wedding Bells" and, upon the
advent Of the party, the wedding march
from 'Lohengrin."
At p. m. precisely, the bridal procession
proceeded up the main aisle to the arch. and

THE FIRST DISTRICT.
The Attempt to Buy 1t in the Name
of the Knights of Labor.

The announcement made in the General
Assembly of the Knights of Labor that MIR.
Hayes of the executive board put $4,000 in
to the fight in this Congressional district in
1886, to help defeat Congressman Reed, is
not without foundation, it appears.
On Thursday, August %, Mr.. Hayes and
Ralph Beaumont, the first amember' of the
national executive board, the other the chair
man of the Congressional committee of the
Knights of Labor, came here and went to the
City Hotel.
AT the request of Mr.. Hayes meeting was
held the next evening in Mechanics Hall
and was attended by all the leading knights
of Labor of this section. Among those pres.
ent were j. F. Turner Rev. VIM. f. Eaton
r. 7. Jewett, ii. W. Fletcher and other
well-known Moulton men. During the eve
ming Mr.. Hayes stated that he had $4,000
with him, and was ready to use it to defeat
Reed. He disapproved of the candidacy OF
Mr.. Moulton, and made that fact very plain
In private conversation he said that he had
the money with him and would pay it out il
the opposition to Mr.. Reed would unite on a
candidate. AS matter of fact he did not
pay dollar but left, as he said, to go Il
Morrison's district. The scheme broke
down because the opponents of Mr.. Reed
would not or could not agree upon a candi
date satisfactory to Messrs. Hayes q Beau

"The ex-champion oarsman of America,
Jake Gaudaur, is boarding at the Winthrop

is training for his race of the 27th,with John
